com the way tire buying should be. Who you might've
(01:37):
had to take a deep breath. That's all right, because
well we're about to speak right on back up once again.
All right, we've been talking NFL. We've been talking preseason.
We've talked to coaches and players ending up from the
mud butts or excuse me, mud babies. I meant to
say mud bud is something different. Huh Hey, make sure
(02:01):
you're clean when you leave the restroom. By the way,
nobody wants to smell you. All right, up, but now
let's talk about a quarterback situation where I'm curious to
know TJ. We've heard Bill Belichick talk about bow Knicks
maybe the most NFL ready quarterback out of this year's draft.
(02:26):
We've heard Sean Payton. Now I thought it was lip service.
I thought Sean Payton was actually trying to qualify the pick,
and that's why he spoke so highly of bow Knicks
after they were able to draft him. Basically saying that,
you know, he couldn't believe that this guy, this guy
was still available to them if they had their pick,
their choice their brothers. Basically, no matter what pick they had,
(02:49):
they were gonna take bow Knicks. That's interesting to me.
And now as the preseason has played out, bow Knicks
has his last game, his last preseason game, he has
a very nice showing, and it seems as though the
hype machine is getting behind bow Knicks. Do you buy
into the hype of bow Knicks. Where do you see
(03:11):
bow Knicks in terms of his NFL preparedness and how
does that compare to Because this, to me, I think
is an excellent not just a good class. This is
an excellent, maybe a historical class of draft picks that
came out in this year's NFL draft.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
I agree with Sean Payton, Coach Belichick me doing what
I do by getting dudes ready for the combine. I
had the privilege to be around some of these dudes,
and I wasn't around bow Knicks, but I got to
talk to him. The reason bow Knicks is prepared, or
(03:54):
they believe he's prepared more than anyone else's because he
has more college starts than any player in the history
of college football that's coming into the league. As a quarterback.
Bo Nick started sixty one college football games. Sixty one.
That's a lot and the two best conferences in the
(04:16):
SEC at Auburn. And then when he leaves and transfers,
say two best The PAC twelve was the best conference
in college football last year, the best conference in college
football last year. You think, what makes you feel I
believe wholeheartedly they made you feel that way because you
had so many teams ranked in the top twenty five
(04:36):
very late in the season.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Maybe you got to do it very much competition in
the back twelve.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
But they're all ranked in the top twenty five. Hous
that possible?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I think top top.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
And then when they played their ball games. And then
when they played their ball games, look at the record
and the score of their bowl games.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
But they faced a really good team. They you know,
I mean Washington, they faced a really good team and
you know they got you beat up. But anyway, so
he played in he played in very good conferences, and
he got better.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
He got better every season. But when you can draft
a quarterback that has started sixty one games, he's ready.
He's ready to go. I believe as rookies that Caleb
Williams and bow Knicks will have the two best seasons
of any quarterback. And some will say, where's Jade Daniels.
(05:31):
I've seen Jane Daniels. I've seen Jane Daniels work every
single day. He was part of the group that we
had every single day. And if dan Quinn wasn't his
head coach, if they had another receiver outside of mclauren,
I would probably have thrown him in there. But I
don't know if dan Quinn is gonna allow Kingsbury to
(05:52):
run the offense exactly how he wants to. I don't
know if they're gonna find somebody opposite of mclauren. And
so I know one thing, Sean Payton and bow Knicks
will be ready to go. I know he's going to
be quarterback friendly. And then they'll say, well, Caleb Williams
has a defensive coach, a defensive coach that if he
(06:15):
did but in on the offensive side, he realizes he
has let his coaches coach. Caleb Williams also has DJ Moore,
Keenan Allen, roma Doonzaytas. I just feel like the amount
of starts that bow Knicks had in college is going
to prepare him to succeed and succeed early in the
(06:39):
National Football.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
You could make that assessment based off of him playing
in college.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Sixty no, no, no, sixty one starts.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
You can make that assessment that he's pro ready off.
Let's put let's put some context into this, right all right,
because you do know I do already I can throw
where you going?
Speaker 5 (06:56):
All right? Now?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
You know college don't really matter once you get to
the road, you know what I mean, especially for the
mud baby.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Let's put some context into this. Anthony Richardson started thirteen
games and was a top five pick thirteen one three,
thirteen games. That's how a lot of Chorgia Tech has.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Right now, you got a lot to learn when you
played that old.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Nick started sixty one games. That's hard to call it,
and it's not. It's playing college in the NFL is
completely different. The coverages are going to see. It's completely
different the way guys, you're a smarter player in the
National Football League than you are in college. Because we
don't have to go to school. Football is our job.
Why they in class, we studying, you know, while they
(07:39):
taking tests were studying, and that's the biggest difference. But
now you'll be more prepared because bo Nix has seen
different coverages. He understands if I see this, it could
possibly be that just from playing so many snaps, he's
not going to panic as much as a quarterback that
(08:00):
only started thirteen games.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
You know what's crazy, man, If you think about it,
a regular football season has how many games, like twelve
thirteen games?
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Twelve I believe in college?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah, twelve, yes, it's like eleven or twelve in a
ball game.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Thirteen he had the COVID year.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Right, So if you think about that, if it was
just a regular college career, you're talking what fifty two games?
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Fifty two games?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
That kid is almost an entire season above what the
average norm of a starter would have and starts.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
That's a lot of you know, I heard Q say this,
I heard Brady Quinn say this on Two Pros, And
I want to get your opinion on this because I
think it was an interesting take. While you may look
at bo Nixon say where he's at currently, it's probably
accurate to say that he's the most pro ready, but
(08:59):
I think that also establishes and This is not my words.
I can't take credit for it. It establishes that he
has had he has a higher floor going into going
into his pro career. His floor is higher than the
other guys that have been drafted alongside him. But when
you talk about the ceiling, is it safe to say
(09:20):
that maybe we know who bow Nicks is, we know
what we're going to get from bow Knicks. Yes, and
that his ceiling is a much lower sense than the
rest of the guys that.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Went before one hundred. So how does that so?
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Then, how does that quantify as a star player or
a franchise quarterback in the National Football League?
Speaker 5 (09:42):
How quickly?
Speaker 4 (09:43):
How soon does that ceiling touch bow Knicks in the pros?
Speaker 5 (09:46):
I need listen, All I need is a quarterback to
throw the ball accurately with anticipation. Just throw the ball
accurately with anticipation. Quarterbacks don't throw at anticipation. You know
why they don't because they don't trust what they see.
They're not. They don't trust it they are they not.
They don't understand what the defense is doing, So they
don't throw an anticipation. They hold onto the ball. If
(10:08):
bo Knicks can throw an anticipation and throw the ball accurately.
He's going to be very good. You don't have to
be a superstar. If you are a star as a
quarterback and I have a good team around you, we're
good enough to do very well. I don't think brock
Perty is a superstar, but he's a star, and you
(10:30):
put a team around him, you can do those type
of things. There's very few superstars. There's very few Patrick Mahomes,
Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, there's very few of those.
Everybody's not a superstar, but you could be a few
star parts you funny man.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
That don't forget Matthew Stafford and Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
By the way, at one point they were at.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
One ant Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
I like Stafford, man, I do like Stafford. Can go? Now,
can go? And that. And if you if you deem
Stafford to have never been a superstar, not be one,
and he's a star, that's that's fine because if you
put a team around those guys that can throw it
at me, and the quarterback position is about throwing it
(11:22):
at throwing the ball with anticipation, and if you can
do that, that means you're seeing the game the right way.
That's all it is. The quarterback position. Obviously you have
to be able to throw the ball, but it's between
the ears and if you're throwing with anticipation, you're doing
something right. That to me, is the biggest trait that
(11:43):
a quarterback can have. That's the best trait.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Well, I'll say this, and looking at what bo Nicks
has been able to accomplish and comparing it to the
other ones, I think it's a big It's a big
moment for Sean Payton because you come in, you take
over a team, you run Russell Wilson out of town,
and you're it seems as though you're trying to create
(12:08):
the culture that fits what winning looks like.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
In his internal he ran Russell Wilson out of town
and Russell Wilson ran himself out of town.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
I think they both did had a part in it,
you know what I mean. I won't say that it
was all on on Sean Payton, and I definitely won't
say it was all on Russ because I think statistically
you could look at what Russell Wilson was able to
accomplish last year and it wasn't that bad.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
I'll give you that but I mean, the best and
most important stats is w's and LSU true.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
And they didn't do that very well. They seemed to
be a team that teetered. They teetered the line of
being a team that could win games, but didn't quite
get there. So I just wonder when you put that
amount of I guess hype into your draft pick and
you speak the way you spoke of Bo Nicks, how
(13:01):
vital is it to Sean Payton's job security that you
you land and and you you convert on on bow
knicks being a guy.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Hey, Sean Payton, don't get a pass man. You got
to sink or swim like this is a guy you wanted.
But this is so early with the statement I'm about
to make. This is early. Okay, this may be the
best quarterback class in the history of the draft. Ever,
it's possible you.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Had six guys go in the top top twelve, Top twelve,
top twelve because Bo next was the last one drafted.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
I'm talking Caleb Williams, Jane Daniels, Michael Drake, Mayeke may
JJ McCarthy, Michael Payne. Though, but to have that many
guys go, now you know somebody ain't gonna be that
they expect them to be. But it's quite possible. But
that Joe Burrow draft is looking real good also right now,
(13:57):
looking real good. He just got to stay borrow. Tua
Herbert Jalen hurts in a second. Yeah, looking good. Not
great as ever though, but not bad. No, this one
has an opportunity, but it has a so far chance.
There is a chance.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Well that's t J. Huschman Zada. He's got a chance.
And you know what, you got a chance to hear
him talk a little bit more about sports. On the
other side, you know who else has a chance? Coach
Deon Sanders, some call him coach Prime.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
He had a chance to do something to a media personality, well,
not a personality, a reporter, columnist.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Uh. It's interesting.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
The the stakes are getting higher and higher in Boulder, Colorado.

All right, guys, now we got a story that's coming
out of Boulder.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Deon Sanders has been the coach. I'll say that has
really really broke the mold. I've never really I mean,
Bobby Bowden and I played for one. Joe Paterno, you
know you played for one. Oh, by the way, we
have a guy by the name of.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Arm Strong.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
He's in the house right now.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
So Voltron is back in effect, it is connected the lines,
all ready to.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Fight evil in the galaxy.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Uh. You played for Nick Saban as well?
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (16:25):
In in in.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
The sport TJ. Did you? Did you?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I can't recall. I mean, I know you played for
Marv and the couple, But did you play for like
a guy that his brand was basically larger than any
player on the team.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
No, I didn't have that. Bro.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Let me tell you something that is something that is
very very Uh, it's very rare that you have a
coach that has a brand that is larger than every
single player you've ever coached. And and to me, when
I look at Prime, his his level, his type of brand,
(17:03):
his type of nil is much different, much more colorful,
much more in the now than a Bobby Bowden or
a Nick Saban or Joe Paterno more traditional. But yet
their brands are are undeniable. Now with everything that's going
(17:24):
on and surrounding what's taking place with college football, Dion
Sanders has you know what. Let's put this way, Chris,
you tell me what the latest story is that's come
out because there's been with a lot of attention and
a lot of styling and charisma that that coach Prime
(17:46):
has comes a lot of scrutiny and a lot of
people that have things to say, what's the latest on
what's taking place with coach Sanders in Boulder, Colorado?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Real.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
I would also say some of it seems the stems
from not understanding the media world too, which is odd
considering you know, this isn't the We already have the
incident where he confused CBS Denver with CBS National. But
what happened this week here is and this is coming
from Brett mc murphy Colorado Bands, Denver Post columnists, and
now Denver Post is kind of a smaller paper in Denver,
(18:20):
Sean Keeler from asking questions Dion Sanders or CU players
due to a quote sustained and personal attacks on Sanders,
according to a CU spokesman, and he cited Keeler's use
of phrases. Now we must once again stress that Sean
Keeller is a columnist and op ed columnist, and they
always write very colorful stuff, and they're speaking in a
(18:41):
language of the fans. But some phrases, and I love
some of these is such as quote false prophet, deposition
Dion planet Prime, Bruce Lee of BS the Dion kool
Aid and describing cu as a quote circus. So this
columnist this is kind of seen in the media world
(19:04):
as a massive overreach.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Even if there is there's always someone there among columnists
who are who are going to write fiery things. But
Colorado has now banned this columnist from being able to
ask any questions of Dion Sanders or any of the players.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Moving forward, Welcome into the show, stretch TJ. You want
to take it, pleat you want to take who wants
to who wants to jump at it first?
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Go ahead, We're gonna We're gonna let plax do it. Welcome,
Welcome into the show with a nice with a nice
little topic. Let's go babies man.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, he has no h you know Prime Man, and
he's getting these uh you know, personal attacks on you know,
on himself, and which is you know, it's kind of
warranted because this is what they.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Their motive is almost kind of like to ruffle.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
His feathers, and you know, they they're getting personal with him,
even even with the Shiloh Sander's uh rupts the thing.
They're asking him these questions while he's you know, uh
hosting you know, press conferences and it has nothing to
do with football, so he's taking on these personal attacks.
(20:12):
I believe they banned this guy from asking any questions
pertaining to you know, Colorado football, but he can talk
about anything else.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
But deone should have seen this coming.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
He should have known that there will be personal tax
on him when if he's not winning football games. It's
going to continue. But I think winning will solve some
of it. But he's going to continue to get these uh,
you know, certain people in the media to go after
them so they can get that reaction that they want
out of him. Is what they're getting now. So I
(20:47):
don't I don't, I don't. I don't know or think
that he's surprised by it. It's just one of these
things that it just keeps happening over and over again,
and it doesn't happen to anybody else in college football.
It happens to him because of who he is, and
he knows that. And it's not gonna it's not going
to slow down or stop many time soon. It's just
going to be something he's going to have to be
(21:08):
able to deal with and kind of you know, he's
he's uh, you know, he's outside the box style of coach.
So it's just gonna be something he's gonna have to
be get used.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
To, you know, with Prime because of his his name,
the way he carried himself as a player, the way
he is as a coach. You know, I'm bringing my
own lug get you in his luggage is Louis v Time.
Basically like these players I'm bringing in, y'all ain't got y'all,
y'all ain't looids vaiton Leggas say, y'all might need to
(21:40):
transfer when when you start talking the way that he's
talking or talked the way that he talked when he
came in, and then you don't win when you had
these players that are transferring now saying negative things and
about the way they being tree it, and you don't win.
(22:03):
These columnists, not all, but some are gonna write these
things we worked with. This is this is this is
what they want? Yes, because if everything is all peaches
and creams and everything is positive, guess what nobody's gonna
pay attention to none of the right And they're doing.
(22:23):
It's just gonna be another article about them praising Dion
his article and what has happened to this reporters being
talked about because of the plant? What was like some
of them things was kind of funny. But Prime is like, Bro,
enough is enough. I don't know if I would ban them,
(22:44):
I just wouldn't answer his questions or you know, I'm
not answering your question next and leave it at that.
And so it does, but that that's just me. That
that's just me. Now it could come a point in
time where it can get really annoying, and you them
because you don't want it to turn into something it shouldn't,
and I believe that's what it could be. He gets
(23:06):
manned because if this man continues down this path, he
may get me out of character and I don't want
that to happen. That that could be the reason. But
it's one hundred percent what Pleq said. As soon as
Colorado start winning, what can you say winning? They say,
cure's everything? Does it not? And so he needs to
(23:29):
win consistently and all that chirping that Buddy is doing
it falls on deaf ears because it's as if what
you're talking about, Bro, we winning, Why are you hating?
We're winning? But when you can say those things and
they're losing, they're winning four games, then some some people
may think it's justified.
Speaker 6 (23:47):
You know.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
For me, it just gives you an idea, a look into,
you know, just maybe some of the sensitivities that Prime
may have that because I mean, he's been the best
for so long at everything he's done, at every level
that he's been and guys like that are wired. They're wired.
(24:10):
We talked about Tom Brady and other guys being wired
differently to be able to handle things that come their way.
I've been around Prime, you know, this is my teammate,
my rookie year. I got an opportunity to see a
very very mature and grown professional football player and how
they prepared. Like we talked about before, Plex, I laid
(24:30):
my uniform out before every game because I was so
well thought out and so wanting to be prepared, and
what I did everything mattered to me, including the way
I wore my uniform.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
A lot of those.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Lessons were reconfirmed and thought up and conceptualized through watching
Deon Sanders do what he did as as a player
in the locker room. It changed the trajectory of my
career because he worked with me as a rookie, so
I have a unique understanding of who coach prime is
(25:03):
as a player. And one thing I always say, you know,
the biggest thing is ken a player that was so
great cannot translate into.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Being a coach.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
And the one thing that has always been a major
concern and major focus for me when I entered the
coaching world. And we've coached together at times for what
two years, TJ and and we've coached uh in camps
and at the UA game play, so you guys have
seen me as a coach. What has always been most
(25:35):
important to me, which interestingly enough came up in our
one with Flora as Intua, is the connection with the
young people that you're you know, the people that you're coaching,
and that connection being a part of creating a standard.
You know, don't don't be a normal person when you
come out here like accept and embrace that you have
(25:57):
a higher standard. You're you're you're expecting more from yourself.
You're pushing more out of and squeezing more out of
who you can be as as a player. And then
those lessons now translate into me having conversations with you
as to how that applies to you as a as
a human being, as a person outside of the game.
(26:19):
Your value isn't how good you are on the football field.
Your value is how good you are as a person
and as a human being.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
I look at this and what.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
I'm seeing out of how Dion handles things as a coach,
and I do think it translates. I think that the
coaches want to coach hard for him. I think that
the players want to play hard for him. I know
there are these ul terrier you know, these different narratives
that are trying to come out and be a part
(26:50):
of how Dion is.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Is kind of defined.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
But I think the one thing and playing with him
as a player pause as a player, and and being
in the UA games with him. I did not go
through a regular season of coaching with him, but I
was on a staff with him multiple years, multiple times
at the UA game. Deon Sanders is one hundred percent
(27:15):
aware of what he's doing. He's aware of the standard
that he's creating. He's aware of the pressure that he
puts on himself. He's aware of the pressure that he
puts on on his players. He's aware of the pressure
that he puts on his coaching staff, he's aware. And
the one thing that I'll say that may not be
getting enough run and not being discussed enough, is that
(27:37):
everybody who's a part of that program is aware. They
know what they are. He just added fat boy to
the team. Right now, you got another ginormous, ginormous personality
that's added to the coaching staff, and Warren sapp these
guys are knowing of what it is that they're stepping into.
(28:00):
So when he says I got Louis bag luggage. If
you not Louis bag luggage, you got to roll out,
he's letting you know that there is a standard that
he will not tolerate, that he will not accept. That's
a part of his culture, a part of his ecosystem.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
And as a.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Head coach, if you're going to win, if you're going
to lose, if you're going to succeed, if you're going
to fail, you succeed, you do all those things fail,
whatever it is, you do that knowing that you created
the culture and the environment that was unique to you.
And I don't know that anyone has done it to
(28:38):
the tune that Deon Sanders, coach Dion coach Prime has
done it to because there's so much attention on what
it is that he's doing. He has to maintain being
true to who he is in these scenarios. And I
think ultimately, if he has success, can't nobody say nothing
about it if he's losing you, if they're not, if
(29:00):
they're average, if they're subpar, if they're barely above average,
you gotta know that having the type of personality that
he has, big personality, making a ton of money, not
just being a coach. He's making a ton of money
off of all the endorsements that are connected to him
as well, and by the way, he's doing it for
the school and the state as well.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Listen, it's got to be what is gonna be.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
You're gonna have the people that hate you, You're gonna
have the people that love you. That means you're doing
it the right way. That's TJ. Huchman's Ada, that's Flexico Burst.

Speaker 6 (30:28):
All right?
Speaker 5 (30:28):
Hallo, rolled up?
Speaker 4 (30:29):
We got Finley in the house.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
What's Headley levarn Guys, it's gonna work with you here,
all right? Subbing in here for Isaac who had something
else to do.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Okay, Yeah, well we got Brian Finley.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah we do. And we got some good kicking going on.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
I know that that's taking place in this college football
game and out in Dublin, Ireland. The number ten Florida
State Seminoles are tied up with Georgia Tech at fourteen
at the half two fifty plus yardfield goals by Ryan Fitzgerald,
one from fifty nine yards out to finish off the
first half, and yeah, we're all square. Dj Ujungo Lala,
(31:04):
who is from the southern California area, by the way,
twelve or fourteen passing as the Seminals quarterback ninety six
yards through the air. Also, we've got a ton of
NFL preseason action going on as we speak. Russell Wilson
played a series. He went two for two twenty six yards.
That was about it. Justin fields is now in for
the Steelers in their preseason game where they are sticking
(31:26):
it to the Lions fourteen and nothing late stages of
the first quarter, and Crudero Patterson ran off a busted
off a thirty one yard touchdown run to get the
scoring started in that one.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Also, Rams and Texans.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
Their square at three fuel kicking the story there late
in the first quarter. Ravens are battling it out as
well with the Green Bay Packers and its early second quarter,
Packers are in front six to nothing. Also the Vikings
leading ten to nothing against the Philadelphia Eagles. Guys, As
far as what else is going on quickly here, we
(32:00):
do know that NFL network is reporting the Browns quarterback
Deshaun Watson is going to take a hard pass on
playing tonight against the Seahawks. But yeah, he's gonna take
a hard pass. But LeVar, he is gonna play week
one of the regular season.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
He did great to know, but.
Speaker 9 (32:16):
You know what, yeah, but you know what he did, guys,
he experienced some arm soreness this week.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
And when that happens, you just can't play, I guess.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
I mean, well, you.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Know, and he doesn't have all of the outlets to
get that arm addressed properly, I would assume, so we
get it might take a little bit longer for his
arm to heal up.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
There's a therapy, massage, therapist or something that could probably
work on that.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Dang, no doubt it Back to you anyways, we appreciate it, Finn,
and we're gonna take a quick break and come back
and wrap it up. There was an olympian. He's been
talking big noise about, well why would you consider yourself
better than an Olympian? And well should he put up
his gold medals up against some Super Bowl rings to
(33:02):
prove the point. We'll talk about it as we close up,
wrap up another great show of Up on Game. This
is Fox Sports Radio. Let me talk to y'all about
ELF Beauty's commitment to advancing women in sports. It goes

is coming up after us. You'll want to hear what
he has to say. He always has some interesting, cool
things to say, obviously, the person I work with during
(34:59):
the week on two pros and a cup of Joe.
All Right, fellas, before we get up out of here,
we gotta have the conversation. No Allows, here's the sound
I gotta get y'all. Y'all's take on it is a medal,
a gold medal more important than a Super Bowl ring.
I'm curious. Here's what No Allows I had to say.
Speaker 9 (35:17):
You would not put up your gold medal in one
hundred meters versus Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 10 (35:21):
What does he earned to deserve that status? He plays
football and he's great football player. But you don't get
to jump the line just because you think you're fast.
There's tons of those people out there.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
What if you got his Super Bowl ring.
Speaker 10 (35:35):
I don't want a Super Bowl ring. I'm very very
content with my Olympic medals.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
That's shade. I mean, I can't. I understand the value,
and I get it. You win an Olympic medal, that's
that's great. But jumping the line and all this stuff
like that, I mean, bro our probably our what second
year second year players more than what No Allows will
make in a year outside of him being hot on
(36:08):
a Olympic year. I mean, the popularity of football, the
attentions to football, would not warrant a sprinter or an
Olympian to throw shade at the entire sport.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
That's just me though.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
What say y'all, man, listen, jump the line of what
jump the line? Tyreek Saill I'll beat him in a race.
It's gonna be on my terms. Man. We played the
most popular sport in the world. It's on our terms. Well,
I say we're gonna race fifty, We racing fifty or
it ain't no race Like you need me. I don't
need you. He needs Tyreek Hill. Tyreek Hill don't need him, right,
(36:46):
he probably gonna be Tyreek Hill. I mean fat one
fast dudes ever walked Earth. But we play the most
popular sport in the world. I don't know what. And
I'll root for no Allows because you know he American.
I want even to win all the gold medals this Olympics.
But you can have that confidence. But we play the
(37:10):
most popular sport in the world. If some of them
track dudes was smart, they would play football straight up.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Hey man. It's one of those games where you look
at Tyreg Hill and the way that he plays the
game of football and plays the position. No allots wouldn't
be able to be on go on the football field
and have those natural reactions and still be running full speed.
It just don't happen that way Hill, Tyrig Hill does it.
(37:39):
He's at top speed doing some of the things that
he's doing, and that's why when you get him out
in space and he's on edge by himself, that's why
he's almost uncoverable, unguardable, because he's always at top speed.
You can't go from the track and get on the
football field and expect, because.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
You'll know a lot that you're just going to outrun everybody.
The game don't work that way.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
But quickly, y'all take the metal, fast cats, no doubt.
Who do y'all take the medal though? Or do y'all
want the ring?
Speaker 5 (38:11):
Do y'all want the rings? Or do you want the medal?
Speaker 4 (38:13):
Which one before we get.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
Up at it? I want the Super Bowl ring me
I want the Super Bowl game. And if they racing
a forty or fifty, that's gonna be a great race.
Because no oneh Llows is not a great starter. That's
gonna be a great race.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I'm telling you, I'm taking Tyry Hill in the sixty
and in the forty.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
I don't know if I'm taking them in the sixty,
I'm taking him in a forty, though the forty, I'm
taking them.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
I don't like the shade that he threw out, but
I am gonna go take the I want the medal,
I want the gold medal.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
I gotta choose between the two I'm taking. I'm taking it.
I'm taking a Super Bowl ring. I ain't lying to you,
but I would love to have a Super Bowl rig
as well. But it is what it is.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
Say listen, you've been put up on game people, and
you're about to have Jonas knock as well. So make

protection and over ten thousand recommended installers. Ty rack dot
com the way tire buying should be. Who you might've
(01:37):
had to take a deep breath. That's all right, because
well we're about to speak right on back up once again.
All right, we've been talking NFL. We've been talking preseason.
We've talked to coaches and players ending up from the
mud butts or excuse me, mud babies. I meant to
say mud bud is something different. Huh Hey, make sure
(02:01):
you're clean when you leave the restroom. By the way,
nobody wants to smell you. All right, up, but now
let's talk about a quarterback situation where I'm curious to
know TJ. We've heard Bill Belichick talk about bow Knicks
maybe the most NFL ready quarterback out of this year's draft.
(02:26):
We've heard Sean Payton. Now I thought it was lip service.
I thought Sean Payton was actually trying to qualify the pick,
and that's why he spoke so highly of bow Knicks
after they were able to draft him. Basically saying that,
you know, he couldn't believe that this guy, this guy
was still available to them if they had their pick,
their choice their brothers. Basically, no matter what pick they had,
(02:49):
they were gonna take bow Knicks. That's interesting to me.
And now as the preseason has played out, bow Knicks
has his last game, his last preseason game, he has
a very nice showing, and it seems as though the
hype machine is getting behind bow Knicks. Do you buy
into the hype of bow Knicks. Where do you see
(03:11):
bow Knicks in terms of his NFL preparedness and how
does that compare to Because this, to me, I think
is an excellent not just a good class. This is
an excellent, maybe a historical class of draft picks that
came out in this year's NFL draft.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
I agree with Sean Payton, Coach Belichick me doing what
I do by getting dudes ready for the combine. I
had the privilege to be around some of these dudes,
and I wasn't around bow Knicks, but I got to
talk to him. The reason bow Knicks is prepared, or
(03:54):
they believe he's prepared more than anyone else's because he
has more college starts than any player in the history
of college football that's coming into the league. As a quarterback.
Bo Nick started sixty one college football games. Sixty one.
That's a lot and the two best conferences in the
(04:16):
SEC at Auburn. And then when he leaves and transfers,
say two best The PAC twelve was the best conference
in college football last year, the best conference in college
football last year. You think, what makes you feel I
believe wholeheartedly they made you feel that way because you
had so many teams ranked in the top twenty five
(04:36):
very late in the season.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Maybe you got to do it very much competition in
the back twelve.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
But they're all ranked in the top twenty five. Hous
that possible?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I think top top.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
And then when they played their ball games. And then
when they played their ball games, look at the record
and the score of their bowl games.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
But they faced a really good team. They you know,
I mean Washington, they faced a really good team and
you know they got you beat up. But anyway, so
he played in he played in very good conferences, and
he got better.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
He got better every season. But when you can draft
a quarterback that has started sixty one games, he's ready.
He's ready to go. I believe as rookies that Caleb
Williams and bow Knicks will have the two best seasons
of any quarterback. And some will say, where's Jade Daniels.
(05:31):
I've seen Jane Daniels. I've seen Jane Daniels work every
single day. He was part of the group that we
had every single day. And if dan Quinn wasn't his
head coach, if they had another receiver outside of mclauren,
I would probably have thrown him in there. But I
don't know if dan Quinn is gonna allow Kingsbury to
(05:52):
run the offense exactly how he wants to. I don't
know if they're gonna find somebody opposite of mclauren. And
so I know one thing, Sean Payton and bow Knicks
will be ready to go. I know he's going to
be quarterback friendly. And then they'll say, well, Caleb Williams
has a defensive coach, a defensive coach that if he
(06:15):
did but in on the offensive side, he realizes he
has let his coaches coach. Caleb Williams also has DJ Moore,
Keenan Allen, roma Doonzaytas. I just feel like the amount
of starts that bow Knicks had in college is going
to prepare him to succeed and succeed early in the
(06:39):
National Football.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
You could make that assessment based off of him playing
in college.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Sixty no, no, no, sixty one starts.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
You can make that assessment that he's pro ready off.
Let's put let's put some context into this, right all right,
because you do know I do already I can throw
where you going?
Speaker 5 (06:56):
All right? Now?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
You know college don't really matter once you get to
the road, you know what I mean, especially for the
mud baby.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Let's put some context into this. Anthony Richardson started thirteen
games and was a top five pick thirteen one three,
thirteen games. That's how a lot of Chorgia Tech has.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Right now, you got a lot to learn when you
played that old.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Nick started sixty one games. That's hard to call it,
and it's not. It's playing college in the NFL is
completely different. The coverages are going to see. It's completely
different the way guys, you're a smarter player in the
National Football League than you are in college. Because we
don't have to go to school. Football is our job.
Why they in class, we studying, you know, while they
(07:39):
taking tests were studying, and that's the biggest difference. But
now you'll be more prepared because bo Nix has seen
different coverages. He understands if I see this, it could
possibly be that just from playing so many snaps, he's
not going to panic as much as a quarterback that
(08:00):
only started thirteen games.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
You know what's crazy, man, If you think about it,
a regular football season has how many games, like twelve
thirteen games?
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Twelve I believe in college?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah, twelve, yes, it's like eleven or twelve in a
ball game.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Thirteen he had the COVID year.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Right, So if you think about that, if it was
just a regular college career, you're talking what fifty two games?
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Fifty two games?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
That kid is almost an entire season above what the
average norm of a starter would have and starts.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
That's a lot of you know, I heard Q say this,
I heard Brady Quinn say this on Two Pros, And
I want to get your opinion on this because I
think it was an interesting take. While you may look
at bo Nixon say where he's at currently, it's probably
accurate to say that he's the most pro ready, but
(08:59):
I think that also establishes and This is not my words.
I can't take credit for it. It establishes that he
has had he has a higher floor going into going
into his pro career. His floor is higher than the
other guys that have been drafted alongside him. But when
you talk about the ceiling, is it safe to say
(09:20):
that maybe we know who bow Nicks is, we know
what we're going to get from bow Knicks. Yes, and
that his ceiling is a much lower sense than the
rest of the guys that.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Went before one hundred. So how does that so?
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Then, how does that quantify as a star player or
a franchise quarterback in the National Football League?
Speaker 5 (09:42):
How quickly?
Speaker 4 (09:43):
How soon does that ceiling touch bow Knicks in the pros?
Speaker 5 (09:46):
I need listen, All I need is a quarterback to
throw the ball accurately with anticipation. Just throw the ball
accurately with anticipation. Quarterbacks don't throw at anticipation. You know
why they don't because they don't trust what they see.
They're not. They don't trust it they are they not.
They don't understand what the defense is doing, So they
don't throw an anticipation. They hold onto the ball. If
(10:08):
bo Knicks can throw an anticipation and throw the ball accurately.
He's going to be very good. You don't have to
be a superstar. If you are a star as a
quarterback and I have a good team around you, we're
good enough to do very well. I don't think brock
Perty is a superstar, but he's a star, and you
(10:30):
put a team around him, you can do those type
of things. There's very few superstars. There's very few Patrick Mahomes,
Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, there's very few of those.
Everybody's not a superstar, but you could be a few
star parts you funny man.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
That don't forget Matthew Stafford and Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
By the way, at one point they were at.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
One ant Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
I like Stafford, man, I do like Stafford. Can go? Now,
can go? And that. And if you if you deem
Stafford to have never been a superstar, not be one,
and he's a star, that's that's fine because if you
put a team around those guys that can throw it
at me, and the quarterback position is about throwing it
(11:22):
at throwing the ball with anticipation, and if you can
do that, that means you're seeing the game the right way.
That's all it is. The quarterback position. Obviously you have
to be able to throw the ball, but it's between
the ears and if you're throwing with anticipation, you're doing
something right. That to me, is the biggest trait that
(11:43):
a quarterback can have. That's the best trait.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Well, I'll say this, and looking at what bo Nicks
has been able to accomplish and comparing it to the
other ones, I think it's a big It's a big
moment for Sean Payton because you come in, you take
over a team, you run Russell Wilson out of town,
and you're it seems as though you're trying to create
(12:08):
the culture that fits what winning looks like.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
In his internal he ran Russell Wilson out of town
and Russell Wilson ran himself out of town.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
I think they both did had a part in it,
you know what I mean. I won't say that it
was all on on Sean Payton, and I definitely won't
say it was all on Russ because I think statistically
you could look at what Russell Wilson was able to
accomplish last year and it wasn't that bad.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
I'll give you that but I mean, the best and
most important stats is w's and LSU true.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
And they didn't do that very well. They seemed to
be a team that teetered. They teetered the line of
being a team that could win games, but didn't quite
get there. So I just wonder when you put that
amount of I guess hype into your draft pick and
you speak the way you spoke of Bo Nicks, how
(13:01):
vital is it to Sean Payton's job security that you
you land and and you you convert on on bow
knicks being a guy.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Hey, Sean Payton, don't get a pass man. You got
to sink or swim like this is a guy you wanted.
But this is so early with the statement I'm about
to make. This is early. Okay, this may be the
best quarterback class in the history of the draft. Ever,
it's possible you.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Had six guys go in the top top twelve, Top twelve,
top twelve because Bo next was the last one drafted.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
I'm talking Caleb Williams, Jane Daniels, Michael Drake, Mayeke may
JJ McCarthy, Michael Payne. Though, but to have that many
guys go, now you know somebody ain't gonna be that
they expect them to be. But it's quite possible. But
that Joe Burrow draft is looking real good also right now,
(13:57):
looking real good. He just got to stay borrow. Tua
Herbert Jalen hurts in a second. Yeah, looking good. Not
great as ever though, but not bad. No, this one
has an opportunity, but it has a so far chance.
There is a chance.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Well that's t J. Huschman Zada. He's got a chance.
And you know what, you got a chance to hear
him talk a little bit more about sports. On the
other side, you know who else has a chance? Coach
Deon Sanders, some call him coach Prime.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
He had a chance to do something to a media personality, well,
not a personality, a reporter, columnist.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Uh. It's interesting.

All right, guys, now we got a story that's coming
out of Boulder.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Deon Sanders has been the coach. I'll say that has
really really broke the mold. I've never really I mean,
Bobby Bowden and I played for one. Joe Paterno, you
know you played for one. Oh, by the way, we
have a guy by the name of.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Arm Strong.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
He's in the house right now.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
So Voltron is back in effect, it is connected the lines,
all ready to.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Fight evil in the galaxy.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Uh. You played for Nick Saban as well?
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (16:25):
In in in.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
The sport TJ. Did you? Did you?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I can't recall. I mean, I know you played for
Marv and the couple, But did you play for like
a guy that his brand was basically larger than any
player on the team.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
No, I didn't have that. Bro.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Let me tell you something that is something that is
very very Uh, it's very rare that you have a
coach that has a brand that is larger than every
single player you've ever coached. And and to me, when
I look at Prime, his his level, his type of brand,
(17:03):
his type of nil is much different, much more colorful,
much more in the now than a Bobby Bowden or
a Nick Saban or Joe Paterno more traditional. But yet
their brands are are undeniable. Now with everything that's going
(17:24):
on and surrounding what's taking place with college football, Dion
Sanders has you know what. Let's put this way, Chris,
you tell me what the latest story is that's come
out because there's been with a lot of attention and
a lot of styling and charisma that that coach Prime
(17:46):
has comes a lot of scrutiny and a lot of
people that have things to say, what's the latest on
what's taking place with coach Sanders in Boulder, Colorado?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Real.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
I would also say some of it seems the stems
from not understanding the media world too, which is odd
considering you know, this isn't the We already have the
incident where he confused CBS Denver with CBS National. But
what happened this week here is and this is coming
from Brett mc murphy Colorado Bands, Denver Post columnists, and
now Denver Post is kind of a smaller paper in Denver,
(18:20):
Sean Keeler from asking questions Dion Sanders or CU players
due to a quote sustained and personal attacks on Sanders,
according to a CU spokesman, and he cited Keeler's use
of phrases. Now we must once again stress that Sean
Keeller is a columnist and op ed columnist, and they
always write very colorful stuff, and they're speaking in a
(18:41):
language of the fans. But some phrases, and I love
some of these is such as quote false prophet, deposition
Dion planet Prime, Bruce Lee of BS the Dion kool
Aid and describing cu as a quote circus. So this
columnist this is kind of seen in the media world
(19:04):
as a massive overreach.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Even if there is there's always someone there among columnists
who are who are going to write fiery things. But
Colorado has now banned this columnist from being able to
ask any questions of Dion Sanders or any of the players.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Moving forward, Welcome into the show, stretch TJ. You want
to take it, pleat you want to take who wants
to who wants to jump at it first?
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Go ahead, We're gonna We're gonna let plax do it. Welcome,
Welcome into the show with a nice with a nice
little topic. Let's go babies man.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, he has no h you know Prime Man, and
he's getting these uh you know, personal attacks on you know,
on himself, and which is you know, it's kind of
warranted because this is what they.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Their motive is almost kind of like to ruffle.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
His feathers, and you know, they they're getting personal with him,
even even with the Shiloh Sander's uh rupts the thing.
They're asking him these questions while he's you know, uh
hosting you know, press conferences and it has nothing to
do with football, so he's taking on these personal attacks.
(20:12):
I believe they banned this guy from asking any questions
pertaining to you know, Colorado football, but he can talk
about anything else.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
But deone should have seen this coming.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
He should have known that there will be personal tax
on him when if he's not winning football games. It's
going to continue. But I think winning will solve some
of it. But he's going to continue to get these uh,
you know, certain people in the media to go after
them so they can get that reaction that they want
out of him. Is what they're getting now. So I
(20:47):
don't I don't, I don't. I don't know or think
that he's surprised by it. It's just one of these
things that it just keeps happening over and over again,
and it doesn't happen to anybody else in college football.
It happens to him because of who he is, and
he knows that. And it's not gonna it's not going
to slow down or stop many time soon. It's just
going to be something he's going to have to be
(21:08):
able to deal with and kind of you know, he's
he's uh, you know, he's outside the box style of coach.
So it's just gonna be something he's gonna have to
be get used.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
To, you know, with Prime because of his his name,
the way he carried himself as a player, the way
he is as a coach. You know, I'm bringing my
own lug get you in his luggage is Louis v Time.
Basically like these players I'm bringing in, y'all ain't got y'all,
y'all ain't looids vaiton Leggas say, y'all might need to
(21:40):
transfer when when you start talking the way that he's
talking or talked the way that he talked when he
came in, and then you don't win when you had
these players that are transferring now saying negative things and
about the way they being tree it, and you don't win.
(22:03):
These columnists, not all, but some are gonna write these
things we worked with. This is this is this is
what they want? Yes, because if everything is all peaches
and creams and everything is positive, guess what nobody's gonna
pay attention to none of the right And they're doing.
(22:23):
It's just gonna be another article about them praising Dion
his article and what has happened to this reporters being
talked about because of the plant? What was like some
of them things was kind of funny. But Prime is like, Bro,
enough is enough. I don't know if I would ban them,
(22:44):
I just wouldn't answer his questions or you know, I'm
not answering your question next and leave it at that.
And so it does, but that that's just me. That
that's just me. Now it could come a point in
time where it can get really annoying, and you them
because you don't want it to turn into something it shouldn't,
and I believe that's what it could be. He gets
(23:06):
manned because if this man continues down this path, he
may get me out of character and I don't want
that to happen. That that could be the reason. But
it's one hundred percent what Pleq said. As soon as
Colorado start winning, what can you say winning? They say,
cure's everything? Does it not? And so he needs to
(23:29):
win consistently and all that chirping that Buddy is doing
it falls on deaf ears because it's as if what
you're talking about, Bro, we winning, Why are you hating?
We're winning? But when you can say those things and
they're losing, they're winning four games, then some some people
may think it's justified.
Speaker 6 (23:47):
You know.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
For me, it just gives you an idea, a look into,
you know, just maybe some of the sensitivities that Prime
may have that because I mean, he's been the best
for so long at everything he's done, at every level
that he's been and guys like that are wired. They're wired.
(24:10):
We talked about Tom Brady and other guys being wired
differently to be able to handle things that come their way.
I've been around Prime, you know, this is my teammate,
my rookie year. I got an opportunity to see a
very very mature and grown professional football player and how
they prepared. Like we talked about before, Plex, I laid
(24:30):
my uniform out before every game because I was so
well thought out and so wanting to be prepared, and
what I did everything mattered to me, including the way
I wore my uniform.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
A lot of those.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Lessons were reconfirmed and thought up and conceptualized through watching
Deon Sanders do what he did as as a player
in the locker room. It changed the trajectory of my
career because he worked with me as a rookie, so
I have a unique understanding of who coach prime is
(25:03):
as a player. And one thing I always say, you know,
the biggest thing is ken a player that was so
great cannot translate into.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Being a coach.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
And the one thing that has always been a major
concern and major focus for me when I entered the
coaching world. And we've coached together at times for what
two years, TJ and and we've coached uh in camps
and at the UA game play, so you guys have
seen me as a coach. What has always been most
(25:35):
important to me, which interestingly enough came up in our
one with Flora as Intua, is the connection with the
young people that you're you know, the people that you're coaching,
and that connection being a part of creating a standard.
You know, don't don't be a normal person when you
come out here like accept and embrace that you have
(25:57):
a higher standard. You're you're you're expecting more from yourself.
You're pushing more out of and squeezing more out of
who you can be as as a player. And then
those lessons now translate into me having conversations with you
as to how that applies to you as a as
a human being, as a person outside of the game.
(26:19):
Your value isn't how good you are on the football field.
Your value is how good you are as a person
and as a human being.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
I look at this and what.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
I'm seeing out of how Dion handles things as a coach,
and I do think it translates. I think that the
coaches want to coach hard for him. I think that
the players want to play hard for him. I know
there are these ul terrier you know, these different narratives
that are trying to come out and be a part
(26:50):
of how Dion is.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Is kind of defined.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
But I think the one thing and playing with him
as a player pause as a player, and and being
in the UA games with him. I did not go
through a regular season of coaching with him, but I
was on a staff with him multiple years, multiple times
at the UA game. Deon Sanders is one hundred percent
(27:15):
aware of what he's doing. He's aware of the standard
that he's creating. He's aware of the pressure that he
puts on himself. He's aware of the pressure that he
puts on on his players. He's aware of the pressure
that he puts on his coaching staff, he's aware. And
the one thing that I'll say that may not be
getting enough run and not being discussed enough, is that
(27:37):
everybody who's a part of that program is aware. They
know what they are. He just added fat boy to
the team. Right now, you got another ginormous, ginormous personality
that's added to the coaching staff, and Warren sapp these
guys are knowing of what it is that they're stepping into.
(28:00):
So when he says I got Louis bag luggage. If
you not Louis bag luggage, you got to roll out,
he's letting you know that there is a standard that
he will not tolerate, that he will not accept. That's
a part of his culture, a part of his ecosystem.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
And as a.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Head coach, if you're going to win, if you're going
to lose, if you're going to succeed, if you're going
to fail, you succeed, you do all those things fail,
whatever it is, you do that knowing that you created
the culture and the environment that was unique to you.
And I don't know that anyone has done it to
(28:38):
the tune that Deon Sanders, coach Dion coach Prime has
done it to because there's so much attention on what
it is that he's doing. He has to maintain being
true to who he is in these scenarios. And I
think ultimately, if he has success, can't nobody say nothing
about it if he's losing you, if they're not, if
(29:00):
they're average, if they're subpar, if they're barely above average,
you gotta know that having the type of personality that
he has, big personality, making a ton of money, not
just being a coach. He's making a ton of money
off of all the endorsements that are connected to him
as well, and by the way, he's doing it for
the school and the state as well.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Listen, it's got to be what is gonna be.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
You're gonna have the people that hate you, You're gonna
have the people that love you. That means you're doing
it the right way. That's TJ. Huchman's Ada, that's Flexico Burst.
Let's get an update from our guy, Isaac long Krawn.
But first before we go there, let me just let
y'all know we got to congratulate my man from Brooklyn Park, Minnesota,

Speaker 6 (30:28):
All right?
Speaker 5 (30:28):
Hallo, rolled up?
Speaker 4 (30:29):
We got Finley in the house.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
What's Headley levarn Guys, it's gonna work with you here,
all right? Subbing in here for Isaac who had something
else to do.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Okay, Yeah, well we got Brian Finley.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah we do. And we got some good kicking going on.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
I know that that's taking place in this college football
game and out in Dublin, Ireland. The number ten Florida
State Seminoles are tied up with Georgia Tech at fourteen
at the half two fifty plus yardfield goals by Ryan Fitzgerald,
one from fifty nine yards out to finish off the
first half, and yeah, we're all square. Dj Ujungo Lala,
(31:04):
who is from the southern California area, by the way,
twelve or fourteen passing as the Seminals quarterback ninety six
yards through the air. Also, we've got a ton of
NFL preseason action going on as we speak. Russell Wilson
played a series. He went two for two twenty six yards.
That was about it. Justin fields is now in for
the Steelers in their preseason game where they are sticking
(31:26):
it to the Lions fourteen and nothing late stages of
the first quarter, and Crudero Patterson ran off a busted
off a thirty one yard touchdown run to get the
scoring started in that one.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Also, Rams and Texans.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
Their square at three fuel kicking the story there late
in the first quarter. Ravens are battling it out as
well with the Green Bay Packers and its early second quarter,
Packers are in front six to nothing. Also the Vikings
leading ten to nothing against the Philadelphia Eagles. Guys, As
far as what else is going on quickly here, we
(32:00):
do know that NFL network is reporting the Browns quarterback
Deshaun Watson is going to take a hard pass on
playing tonight against the Seahawks. But yeah, he's gonna take
a hard pass. But LeVar, he is gonna play week
one of the regular season.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
He did great to know, but.
Speaker 9 (32:16):
You know what, yeah, but you know what he did, guys,
he experienced some arm soreness this week.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
And when that happens, you just can't play, I guess.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
I mean, well, you.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Know, and he doesn't have all of the outlets to
get that arm addressed properly, I would assume, so we
get it might take a little bit longer for his
arm to heal up.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
There's a therapy, massage, therapist or something that could probably
work on that.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Dang, no doubt it Back to you anyways, we appreciate it, Finn,
and we're gonna take a quick break and come back
and wrap it up. There was an olympian. He's been
talking big noise about, well why would you consider yourself
better than an Olympian? And well should he put up
his gold medals up against some Super Bowl rings to
(33:02):
prove the point. We'll talk about it as we close up,
wrap up another great show of Up on Game. This
is Fox Sports Radio. Let me talk to y'all about
ELF Beauty's commitment to advancing women in sports. It goes
back to since the brand was founded twenty years ago.
They were founded so that they could disrupt I love
(33:23):
that word, the status quo and champion accessibility.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
They want to open up the worlds of eye, lip
and face. That's why ELF is a founding partner of
Iheart's Women's Sports and Women's Sports Network and the exclusive
skin and cosmetic partner at the Billie Jean King Cup.
Speaker 5 (33:48):

go up immediately upon the completion of this show. And
make sure you wait a little bit because Jonas Nch
is coming up after us. You'll want to hear what
he has to say. He always has some interesting, cool
things to say, obviously, the person I work with during
(34:59):
the week on two pros and a cup of Joe.
All Right, fellas, before we get up out of here,
we gotta have the conversation. No Allows, here's the sound
I gotta get y'all. Y'all's take on it is a medal,
a gold medal more important than a Super Bowl ring.
I'm curious. Here's what No Allows I had to say.
Speaker 9 (35:17):
You would not put up your gold medal in one
hundred meters versus Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 10 (35:21):
What does he earned to deserve that status? He plays
football and he's great football player. But you don't get
to jump the line just because you think you're fast.
There's tons of those people out there.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
What if you got his Super Bowl ring.
Speaker 10 (35:35):
I don't want a Super Bowl ring. I'm very very
content with my Olympic medals.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
That's shade. I mean, I can't. I understand the value,
and I get it. You win an Olympic medal, that's
that's great. But jumping the line and all this stuff
like that, I mean, bro our probably our what second
year second year players more than what No Allows will
make in a year outside of him being hot on
(36:08):
a Olympic year. I mean, the popularity of football, the
attentions to football, would not warrant a sprinter or an
Olympian to throw shade at the entire sport.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
That's just me though.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
What say y'all, man, listen, jump the line of what
jump the line? Tyreek Saill I'll beat him in a race.
It's gonna be on my terms. Man. We played the
most popular sport in the world. It's on our terms. Well,
I say we're gonna race fifty, We racing fifty or
it ain't no race Like you need me. I don't
need you. He needs Tyreek Hill. Tyreek Hill don't need him, right,
(36:46):
he probably gonna be Tyreek Hill. I mean fat one
fast dudes ever walked Earth. But we play the most
popular sport in the world. I don't know what. And
I'll root for no Allows because you know he American.
I want even to win all the gold medals this Olympics.
But you can have that confidence. But we play the
(37:10):
most popular sport in the world. If some of them
track dudes was smart, they would play football straight up.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Hey man. It's one of those games where you look
at Tyreg Hill and the way that he plays the
game of football and plays the position. No allots wouldn't
be able to be on go on the football field
and have those natural reactions and still be running full speed.
It just don't happen that way Hill, Tyrig Hill does it.
(37:39):
He's at top speed doing some of the things that
he's doing, and that's why when you get him out
in space and he's on edge by himself, that's why
he's almost uncoverable, unguardable, because he's always at top speed.
You can't go from the track and get on the
football field and expect, because.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
You'll know a lot that you're just going to outrun everybody.
The game don't work that way.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
But quickly, y'all take the metal, fast cats, no doubt.
Who do y'all take the medal though? Or do y'all
want the ring?
Speaker 5 (38:11):
Do y'all want the rings? Or do you want the medal?
Speaker 4 (38:13):
Which one before we get.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
Up at it? I want the Super Bowl ring me
I want the Super Bowl game. And if they racing
a forty or fifty, that's gonna be a great race.
Because no oneh Llows is not a great starter. That's
gonna be a great race.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I'm telling you, I'm taking Tyry Hill in the sixty
and in the forty.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
I don't know if I'm taking them in the sixty,
I'm taking him in a forty, though the forty, I'm
taking them.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
I don't like the shade that he threw out, but
I am gonna go take the I want the medal,
I want the gold medal.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
I gotta choose between the two I'm taking. I'm taking it.
I'm taking a Super Bowl ring. I ain't lying to you,
but I would love to have a Super Bowl rig
as well. But it is what it is.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
Say listen, you've been put up on game people, and
you're about to have Jonas knock as well. So make
sure y'all. Enjoy y'all weekend. It's week zero of college ball.
